Nice robot, can we get a pic of your intake rollers also?

Oh and do you have a kicker roller that leads balls into your shooter

Yeah, it is a lexan roller with tread on it, FP motor I believe with a planetary transmission.

Here is another picture of the lower part of the robot, showing the intake roller and brush assembly. I should have spent more time to get better pictures...oh well....

I took a video of Team 1717 during their practice in the pit.
(I hope you guys don't mind that I posted this. I was definitely impressed by your drive system and had to show some colleagues of mine)

Thank you very much, this means a lot coming from 1771. You guys have a great looking, black, helical, turreted robot too. We teams with the numbers 1 and 7 have a lot in common. Your laser chassis is pretty impressive as well. My fellow students in the machine shop had to work pretty much constantly to turn out the hundreds of parts in time to go to anodize during the build season. The robot ended up looking great.

Thanks again, hopefully we will see you in Atlanta.

Thank you as well. I think we do have some link with the 1 and 7. We seem to have turned out very similar robots and both are quite stylish. I always look forward to the robots you guys put out and your video looks incredible as well. I hope we can bring our robot to the Championship but if not I will for sure be there and stop by and meet you guys. Good luck on the rest of the season.

a very pretty robot as usual and does it really have 10 jaguars

[kwojcik]

We do have 10 jaguars. 4 for the drive train, 3 for the ball management system, and 3 for the turret

I just uploaded a shot of them picking up a ball on the practice field. Keep an eye out for it.
